Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is directed to the field of mechanical devices. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a purse hanger for hanging purses and handbags from tabletops and surfaces.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- At coffeehouses, restaurants, bars, or indoor and outdoor cafes, people crowd at tables with limited space. In addition to space for food and drink, table tops are often called upon to support ash trays, chess boards, books, newspapers, etc. Those who carry purses and handbags often crowd their handbags into the center of the table. Purses and handbags on a tabletop reduce the space on the tabletop, and are an annoyance when reaching for food, drink, or other items. Some handbag users choose to sit with their handbags on their respective laps, creating a less than leisurely atmosphere. Others elect to place their handbag on the floor or sidewalk next to their chair, under their chair, or beneath the table. Multiple inconveniences abound from these options, however. Floors and sidewalks are often unsanitary, and wholly unsuitable for contact with anything other than the bottom of one's shoe. Additionally, purses and handbags which are placed next to or under a chair are completely out of the line of sight of the owner, and can be stolen without the knowledge of the owner until it is time to leave. Even when not stolen, the vigilance required to continually check on a purse or handbag beneath a chair again detracts from the leisure and pleasure of a café or restaurant experience.
- Purse hangers for hanging a purse from a table often align the weight of a purse in an unstable position, causing the purse holder to slide off the table. Bolting or fastening a purse hanger to a table top prevents a purse hanger from sliding off the table, but are only useful when a purse owner sits at the table fitted with the fixed-in-place purse hanger. Prior art purse hangers that are carried in a purse are easily lost within the purse, and difficult to find among other various items stored within a purse.
- There remains therefore a need for a purse holder that can easily be located without becoming lost in the purse of a user. There is also a need for a purse holder that will not readily slide off a tabletop.
- According to an embodiment of the invention, a purse hanger for hanging a purse from a flat surface comprises a rigid interface member defining a substantially planar interface area that is co-planar with the flat surface. A rigid arm has a proximal end coupled with the rigid interface member and a distal end oriented vertically beneath the planar interface area. The proximal end can be swivelably coupled to the rigid interface member, or fixedly coupled, according to alternative embodiments. A flexible member has a first end coupled to the distal end of the rigid arm, and a second end coupled to a purse engagement member for engaging a strap of a purse.
- According to one embodiment, the rigid arm is detachably coupled with the rigid interface member.
- The rigid interface member can have a storage cavity, which can contain various personal items including, but not limited to one or more shades of lip gloss, foundation, make up, vitamins, drugs, a timepiece, a cellular telephone, a camera and combinations thereof. The storage cavity can be divided into multiple storage spaces by modular inserts.
- A cover for covering the storage cavity has a securement means for securing the cover to the rigid interface member. The securement means may include, but is not limited to snaps, clasps, hooks, hinges, magnets, threaded members, and combinations thereof.
- The rigid arm can include a horizontal extension parallel with the planar interface area, and a vertical extension that is about perpendicular to the horizontal extension. The vertical extension can include a lengthening means for altering a length of the vertical extension. The flexible member will preferably have at least one swivel joint, which can include a top swivel member coupled to the distal end of the rigid arm, a bottom swivel member coupled to the purse engagement member, or a swivel link.
- The purse engagement member is advantageously formed from a rigid loop having a movable loop member movably engaged to a primary loop member. When the movable loop member is in a first position, the purse engagement loop is a closed loop, and when the movable loop member is in a second position, the purse engagement member is an open loop. The movable loop member can be movably engaged to the primary loop member through a pivot means or through a slide means, such as a tubular member into which the movable loop member can retract. A spring member urges the movable loop member toward the first position.
- A method for storing a purse hanger comprises the steps of securing the purse engagement member to a purse handle, opening the purse, flexing the flexible member, and, placing the rigid interface member within the purse, wherein the purse engagement member remains secured to the purse strap.

- Referring primarily to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , apurse hanger 20 for hanging apurse 80 from a horizontal surface such as atabletop 21 has arigid interface member 22. As used herein, the term purse includes any handbag device having at least onehandle 81 for carrying by hand, or for looping over a shoulder, and a compartment area for carrying personal items and chattels. - A
rigid arm 45 extends horizontally outward from the rigid interface member. Therigid arm 45 has aproximal end 46 and adistal end 55. The proximal end is coupled to theneck 38 of therigid interface member 22. Preferably, the neck is pivotably coupled to the rigid arm, thereby allowing the distal end to pivot to a lowest gravitational position. Embodiments are envisioned, however, wherein therigid arm 45 is secured to theneck 38 in a non-pivoting relationship. - The
rigid interface member 22 has aplanar interface area 23. In the embodiment ofFIG. 2 , the planar interface area is about co-extensive with the bottom surface of the rigid interface member. In the embodiment ofFIG. 13 , theplanar interface area 23 is defined by the bottom surface of apad 28 in contact with thetabletop 21. In the embodiment ofFIG. 18 , theplanar interface area 23 is a substantially triangular area with the corners of the triangle established by the position of the threelegs 87. As discussed in greater detail herein, a purse will hang in a stable orientation from apurse hanger 20 if thedistal end 55 of therigid arm 45 is positioned vertically beneath theplanar interface area 23. - A
flexible member 60 is secured to thedistal end 55 through an upperflexible member coupling 61, and to a purse engagement member shown as arigid loop 70 through a lowerflexible member coupling 62. One ormore straps 81 of apurse 80 are placed within the rigid loop. Therigid interface member 22 is placed on a table top, and the purse hangs from the table top, suspended by the purse holder. Certain prior art purse holders have suspended a purse strap from the tip of a metal rod, potentially damaging or even poking a hole in an expensive purse strap. Because the strap rests in a rigid loop, the present invention does not inflict damage to purse straps. - A common inconvenience of prior art purse holders has been that, when stored within the purse, subsequent use requires searching for the purse holder amidst a purse full of personal items, or abandoning the search and storing the handbag or purse below the table or in a traditional manner. An advantage of the present invention is the
flexible member 60. Referring primarily toFIGS. 3 and 4 , when the purse hanger is not in use, theflexible member 60 of the present invention allows most of thepurse hanger 20 to be stored inside thepurse 80 while thepurse engagement member 70 remains secured to apurse strap 81. Because the purse hanger can be easily located in the purse due to its connection to thepurse strap 81, the purse holder is easily located no matter how many personal items are stored in a purse. - The Interface Member
- Referring primarily to
FIGS. 5 and 9 -16, therigid interface member 22 has aflat bottom surface 24 defining theplanar interface 23 for resting parallel to atabletop 21. Theplanar interface area 23 can be coextensive with thebottom surface 24 of the rigid interface member, as shown inFIG. 2 , or can be defined by padding 28 attached to the bottom surface, as shown inFIG. 13 and discussed further below. - An alternative embodiment shown in
FIG. 18 includes amulti-leg embodiment 25 of a rigid interface member comprising aframe 26 with threelegs 87 extending therefrom. The distal ends of the legs individually interface with atabletop 21, and thereby define a geometric plane which includes theplanar interface 23. - As best seen in
FIGS. 12, 13 and 18, a layer ofpadding 28 established an optimal frictional contact with atable top 21, and avoids scratching table surfaces. The padding can be formed from a variety of materials, including but not limited to felt, cork, rubber, or other materials. Those skilled in the art will recognize that in embodiments utilizing layer of padding, theplanar interface 23 is technically established by the padding, not therigid interface member 22 or the distal ends of thelegs 87. - According to one embodiment, the
rigid interface member 22 releasably couples to acover 29 by a securement means, shown inFIGS. 5 , and 14 as a clasp and hinge assembly. Anupper clasp 32 on the cover engages alower clasp 33 on the rigid interface member to secure the cover in place. When theclasp release 34 is pressed by a user, the clasp assembly releases the cover from the rigid interface member. According to the embodiment shown inFIGS. 9, 10 , and 13, anoptional hinge 31 prevents the cover from detaching completely from therigid interface member 22. A hinge can also be used independent of a clasp means. Thehinge assembly 31 can advantageously be used with other mechanical closing devices, such as a two-position rocker-and-spring assembly, wherein, when the cover is below a center position, the cover is urged shut by the spring, and when lifted above the rocker point, the cover is urged open by the spring. -
FIG. 16 shows an alternative embodiment wherein thecover 29 releasably engages the rigid interface member in a threadable engagement. Mutually engageableupper threads 34 andlower threads 35 are respectively formed around the edges of thecover 29 and therigid interface member 22. - As seen in
FIGS. 14 and 16 , astorage cavity 30 within therigid interface member 22 can be used to store personal items, such aslip gloss 41 or other forms of make-up 82,prescription medications 83, a condom, or other small personal items. Consumable personal items such as lip gloss will preferably be stored in a pre-formed container that can be removed and replaced within thestorage cavity 30.FIG. 16 shows an alternative embodiment includingmodular inserts 43 which can be used to segregate storage of separate items, such as different shades of lip gloss or make-up, different prescription medications, etc. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment comprising atimepiece 44 disposed within thestorage cavity 30, and awatch stem 27 extending out of the side of therigid interface member 22. Alternative electrical and mechanical devices such as battery operated timepieces, cameras, or cellular telephones stored within thecavity 30 are envisioned within the scope of the claimed invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that insertion ports for batteries, digital memory, cell-phone ear plugs, and other electromechanical accessories can be positioned in a variety of places, such as in thebottom surface 24, the side of therigid interface member 22, or in thestorage cavity 30 as accessed after opening thecover 29. Watches and other electronic and mechanical devices are preferably removable for battery replacement, servicing, or exchanging with other insertable devices and members. - The upper surface of the rigid interface member, seen in
FIGS. 1, 9 and 19 will preferably be a decorative member. Expensive embodiments can include onyx, lapis lazuli, or other precious or semi-precious stones, as well as porcelain, ceramic, gold, platinum and silver etchings, and other jeweled and decorative surfaces. The decorative surfaces can include various artistic displays, emblems of college and professional sports teams, casinos, restaurants, inaugurations, sports championships and other commemorative events. - A
neck 38 extending horizontally from therigid interface member 22 is discussed in greater detail in conjunction with therigid arm 45. The neck can be integrally formed with the rigid interface member, or securely attached thereto. The axis of the neck is preferably parallel to theplanar interface area 23. - The Rigid Arm
- The
neck 38 couples arigid arm 45 to therigid interface member 22. - Referring primarily to FIGS. 2, 5-12 and 14-16, the
rigid arm 45 is formed from a rigid material or combination of materials that are strong enough to maintain a preformed shape while supporting the weight of a purse. Materials can include, but not limited to metal, graphite, composite and kevlar compositions or combinations. The rigid arm preferably includes ahorizontal extension 50 and avertical extension 51. Embodiments are envisioned wherein the rigid arm is single piece construction, such as a contiguous wire rod. Alternative embodiments discussed in greater detail below envision a rigid arm having multiple separate members joined by a linking piece, such as a turnbuckle. - The
proximal end 46 of the rigid arm is located at the tip of thehorizontal extension 50, and couples with theneck 38 of therigid interface member 22. When the rigid arm is coupled with theneck 38, the horizontal extension of the rigid arm is parallel to theplanar interface area 23. - The
distal end 55 of the rigid arm couples with theflexible member 60 through an upperflexible member coupling 61. - As discussed above, the engagement between the
proximal end 46 of therigid arm 45 and theneck 38 is preferably a swivelable engagement.FIG. 5 shows a basic swivel engagement that permanently couples thehorizontal extension 50 to theneck 38. -
FIG. 9 shows a swivel engagement including aninner neck portion 38 a extending from therigid interface member 22 and anouter neck portion 38 b coupled with thehorizontal extension 50. A release means shown as a ball-detent engagement allows therigid interface member 22 to be detached from therigid arm 45. Adepressible ball 58 in the inner neck engages adetent opening 59 in theouter neck portion 38 b to form a ball-detent engagement. Therigid interface member 22 can be released from therigid arm 45 by depressing theball 58 and withdrawing theinner neck 38 a from theouter neck 38 b. -
FIG. 11 shows an alternative swivel embodiment with a release means comprising a threaded engagement between thehorizontal extension 50 of therigid arm 45 and theneck 38. Thehorizontal extension 50 includes a threadedportion 48 engaged with a threadedinterior 42 of theneck 38. The threaded embodiment allows thehorizontal extension 50 of therigid arm 45 to swivel within theneck 38. Although threaded engagements can allow arigid interface member 22 to be detached from therigid arm 45, alternative embodiments are envisioned wherein a stop, such as a thread interruption, prevents the complete unscrewing and detachment of the rigid arm from the rigid interface member. -
FIG. 15 is an alternative swivelable embodiment having an enlargement shown as arounded boss 47 formed on the proximal end of the rigid arm, and secured within the neck by a constriction shown as achoke flange 37 within theneck 38. - The specific embodiments of swivelable and releasable engagements of the
rigid arm 45 and therigid interface member 22, as described above, however, are exemplary, and are not intended to limit other swivel engagements that are fully intended within the scope of the claims, including detachable and non-detachable swivel engagements. Additionally, non-swivelable embodiments are envisioned wherein therigid arm 45 is engaged to theneck 38 in a non-swiveling relationship. - As shown in
FIGS. 1, 2 , 5, 12, 14 and 16,rigid arm embodiments 45 can include avertical extension 51 perpendicular to thehorizontal extension 50. A lengthening means on thevertical extension 51, shown as aturnbuckle 49, allows adjustment of the vertical distance between theplanar interface area 23 and thedistal end 55 of therigid arm 45. A vertical lengthening means allows thepurse hanger 20 to be adjusted according to the thickness of the table, bar, or other horizontal surface from which a purse may be hung. By positioning the lengthening means on avertical extension 51, the act of lengthening or shortening the vertical extension will not move thedistal end 55 out of the center axis. -
FIGS. 7 and 8 show an enlarged view of a lengthening means in the form of a threadedturnbuckle 49 coupling anupper member 56 and alower member 57 of the vertical extension. According to one embodiment, the turnbuckle can be completely unscrewed from at least one of the upper andlower members flexible member 60 with the purse hanger assembly. An alternative embodiment, however, envisions stops such as enlarged unthreaded portions on the upper andlower members -
FIG. 19 illustrates alternative embodiment with arigid arm 45 defined by a large progressive curve. The shape of the rigid arms in the figures are exemplary, and other alternative shapes are envisioned. The rigid arm can be formed from multiple members, such as two rods and a turnbuckle as shown inFIG. 16 , or from single piece construction as shown inFIG. 19 . - The Stable Region
- As best seen in
FIGS. 12, 13 and 18, thestable region 69 is the region vertically beneath theplanar interface area 23. When apurse 80 is suspended by apurse hanger 20 supported by aflat surface 21, and thedistal end 55 of therigid arm 45 is within the stable region, the sum of the moments acting on the rigid interface member will be zero, allowing a purse hanger to remain in a stable orientation. In swivel embodiments, the rigid arm will be urged by gravity to pivot until thedistal end 55 passes into the stable region. In non-swiveling embodiments, the distal end will be fixedly disposed within the stable region. - As noted above, the
planar interface area 23 depends on the shape and arrangement of the member or members in physical contact with the tabletop. In the embodiment ofFIG. 2 , the planar interface area is about co-extensive with the bottom surface of the rigid interface member. In the embodiment ofFIG. 13 , theplanar interface area 23 is defined by the bottom surface of a felt, rubber orcork pad 28 in contact with thetabletop 21. In themulti-leg embodiment 25 ofFIG. 18 , theplanar interface area 23 is a substantially triangular area with the corners of the triangle established by the position of the threelegs 87. - As best seen in
FIG. 12 , thestable region 69 vertically beneath theplanar interface area 23 is largest when the planar interface area is horizontal. When the rigid interface member is swiveled to a non-horizontal orientation, thestable region 69 collapses in size. - The weight of a purse will naturally cause some flexure of a rigid arm, and can alter the horizontal position of the
distal end 55. If bending or flexure were to move the distal end out of thestable region 69 during use, the purse hanger would become unstable.FIGS. 1, 2 and 19 show apurse hanger 20 designed, when a purse of a predetermined weight is supported by the purse hanger, thedistal end 55 is aligned along thecenter axis 68 that intersects thegeometric center 67 of theplanar interface area 23 at right angles. According to this design, minor flexure of the rigid arm or minor manufacturing variations will not move thedistal end 55 outside of thestable region 69 or otherwise degrade the stability or usefulness of the purse hanger. In swiveling embodiments, the arc defined by thedistal end 55 will pass through thecenter axis 68. In non-swiveling embodiments, thedistal end 55 of the rigid arm should be fixedly disposed in vertical alignment beneath theplanar interface area 23 when the planar interface area is horizontal. - The Flexible Member
- As best shown in
FIGS. 1-5 and 16, aflexible member 60 has a first end with an upperflexible member coupling 61 for coupling with thedistal end 55 ofrigid arm 45, and a second end with a lowerflexible member coupling 62 for coupling with thepurse engagement loop 70. The flexible member can be formed from any material or combination of materials that is sufficiently flexible to allow thepurse hanger 20 to be stored in apurse 80 without detaching thepurse engagement loop 70 from the purse strap, and strong enough to reliably hold a purse in a suspended position. The opening in the purse can be substantially closed with the flexible member protruding through a small opening. Because part of the flexible member will remain outside the purse, the user can easily pull the remainder of the purse hanger out of the purse for use. According to a preferred embodiment, the flexible member will be between one inch and four inches in length. The appended claims, however, comprehend embodiments having a flexible member less than one inch or greater than four inches. - When a
purse 80 hangs from a purse hanger as inFIG. 1 , an impact against thepurse 80, such as might be imparted from a knee or chair, can impart a torque to the purse which can be transmitted to theinterface member 22, dislodging it from thetabletop 21. Such torque, however, can be dissipated by allowing the purse to spin when impacted by a knee or chair. Theflexible member 60, therefore, should include at least one swivel member.FIG. 5 shows a purse hanger with a swivel engagement in theupper flex coupling 61, and aflexible member 60 in the form of a swivel ball chain.FIG. 2 shows a purse hanger with swivel engagements for theupper flex coupling 61 and the lowerflexible coupling 62, as well as a swivel ball chain for the flexible member.FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a swivel ball chain that can detachably connect to the upperflexible member coupling 61. -
FIG. 16 and crosssectional view 16A show a non swivelingflexible member 60 comprising a flexible high strengthtensile core 65 surrounded by decorative external layering, shown asgold braid 64. High strength tensile members can include, but are not limited to steel or other wire rope, nylon, spun glass, carbon kevlar, as well as composites that are not yet developed. External decorative layering can include, but is not limited to, gold, silver or platinum chain or braid, as well as other jewelry.FIG. 17 showspearls 66 strung on a hightensile strength core 65. Because a high tensile strength core such as steel rope will impart torque when twisted, and will not release the torque through swiveling, embodiments comprising a non-swiveling flexible member such asFIGS. 16 and 17 comprise non-swivelableflexible members 60 connected with swivelable upperflexible member coupling 61 and lowerflexible member coupling 62. - The Purse Engagement Loop
-
FIGS. 1-4 show apurse engagement loop 70 for holding the handle, or handles 81 of apurse 80. Referring toFIGS. 2 and 5 , apurse engagement loop 70 is a rigid member having aprimary loop member 71 and a movable loop member in the form of a hingedmember 72 that is hingably secured to the primary loop member. The hingedmember 72 can move between first and second positions relative to the primary loop member. A spring member urges the movable loop to the first position. When the movable loop member is moved from the first position to the second position relative to the primary loop member, theloop 70 is an open loop, and one or both purse straps 81, can be inserted through the opening and placed into the loop. When the hingedmember 72 is restored to the first position, theloop 70 becomes a closed loop, securely holding the purse strap(s) inside the loop. - According to the embodiment of
FIG. 2 , themovable loop member 72 is attached to theprimary loop member 71 by ahinge 74, and moves between the first and second positions in a swivel motion. Aspring 73 exerts a force between the primary loop member and the hingedmember 72 to urge the hinged member to swivel to the closed position. - The embodiment of
FIG. 5 shows a primary loop member having atubular construction 76, and a movable loop member in the form of aslidable member 75 that can slidably retract into the tubular construction. Ahelical spring 78 is positioned within the tubular construction to urge theslidable member 75 into a closed position. Afinger tab 77 on the slidable member provides a means for a user to retract the slidable member. - An alternative embodiment for
purse engagement loop 70, seen inFIG. 1 , comprises a continuous loop without any movable member. During fabrication of a purse, apurse handle 81, or multiple handles, as inFIG. 1 are inserted through the continuousrigid loop 70. The purse handle is then fixed to thepurse 80 in a manner known in purse construction. Thepurse hanger 20 is thereby permanently or semi-permanently affixed to the purse handle. - The present invention is directed to a purse hanger for hanging a purse from a table or other horizontal surfaces. The purse hanger has a flexible member allowing the rigid interface member of the purse hanger to be stored in the purse without detaching the
purse engagement member 70 from a purse strap. Many features that would be readily understood to one skilled in the art have not been discussed so as to not needlessly obscure important features of the claimed invention. At the same time, many specific details included herein are descriptive of particular embodiments, but are not essential to every embodiment comprehended by the appended claims. Accordingly, these details should not be construed to limit the scope of the claims appended hereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, alternatives and equivalent embodiments are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention set forth in the appended claims.
